We coordinate closely with elected officials to keep members informed on key legislation impacting businesses. We actively advocate for business-friendly policy. We are Baltimore County’s chosen partner to lead revitalization efforts within Pikesville’s Commercial Revitalization District, our historic home base.
While our foundation began in Northwest Baltimore County, today we serve a broader region and are increasingly recognized as the trusted chamber serving Baltimore County. Today, our membership includes entrepreneurs, mid-sized companies, large employers, nonprofits, community associations, and civic leaders throughout Baltimore County. We remain rooted in relationships and powered by purpose.
Our mission is to promote business, enhance economic well-being, and foster community development. You’ll see our mission, as well as ourcore values, reflected in every initiative we take on—and we invite you to shape that future by joining a committee, attending an event, or becoming a member today.
Whether you’re a new entrepreneur, a seasoned professional, or a nonprofit leader—there’s a place for you here. Choose your membership level, attend a gathering, or explore a sponsorship opportunity. We’re here to help you thrive.
We are greater, together.

WHAT CHAMBER MEMBERS ARE SAYING:
“The Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce is a crucial pillar of my business plan. The Chamber offers direct support relevant to my strategies for growth and sustainability. GBCC connects me with business owners and consumers in the community and fosters the relationship-building process. I find colleagues and business partners within the Chamber, and more importantly, reach clients outside the organization. My GBCC membership keeps my services and brand ‘top of mind’ and is a key aspect of my direct and drip marketing efforts. I show up and participate, and the GBCC model delivers."
The Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce has given me a greater appreciation for entrepreneurship and insight into running a small business. The networking opportunities are priceless. I’ve had the privilege to meet so many like-minded business owners who are passionate about their craft. I’ve been a member since 2018 and have witnessed the chamber go through so many obstacles and changes, but the camaraderie, support, and willingness to rally together in tough times really sets this chamber apart. As a business owner, it’s refreshing to know that this resource exists whose mission is to help us thrive and grow through networking, partnerships, and giving back to our community.
The Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce feels like home! It’s great to be around like-minded business owners who are invested in our community. These types of organizations are meant to be more than just a title, more than just a resume builder, but an impactful experience, and that can be found here. There’s passion at every event the chamber hosts, and I guarantee that if you’re invested and genuine about networking, you’ll find meaningful connections at the very first event you attend. I did!
